Yep. Water pressure a little weak but enough for showers and coffee.

Wow that is lucky, probably find your tower had sufficient water. Unlike ours that the moment there is a problem with Eikenhof we lose water.

What this thread has taught us is to stay away from west rand people until Saturday...

Didn't know Randburg was the west rand as it's also got no water, it's actually about 60% of JHB

Work in Midrand. It happens often and even for a few days.

We already avoided them before this...

According to JHB water you should now be empty :-(

Wow cause they said the Welties reservoir is empty now

 

[Werner1975]

I know its the Jhb water outage thread, but low pressure and no water also experienced on the East Rand due to an electrical fault at the Mapleton pumping station. No ERT yet.

 

[Lupus]

So might have some relief

 

[Solitude]

I'm impressed. I'm so used to hearing that things are behind schedule or broken or well you know how things go in South Africa.

I hope that it doesn't take several days for water to be restored in Little Falls.
